Happy 50th Doctor Who!!!!!



It's here!  It's here!!!!  The 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who is here!!  Happy 50th, Doctor Who!!!!

The 50 Years of Doctor Who Extravaganza at the Grandview Theatre starts at 11 am!!!

For folks who are staying in, I hope you are enjoying the third part of the Eleventh Doctor marathon on BBC America! (Don't forget to check into GetGlue to earn multiple stickers throughout the day!)

The Day of the Doctor starts at 2:50 pm ET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tune in early for the live preview show on BBC America starting at 2:30 pm!   Encores at 7 & 11 pm.   

The Graham Norton Show airs at 10 pm, with guests Matt Smith and David Tennant!

Think the fun ends at midnight?  Well, you would be wrong!  Check out the best of Matt Smith Marathon on BBC America, followed by The Doctors Revisited: The Eleventh Doctor.

Then wrap it all up Monday night with 3-D (and 2-D!) screenings across America!

I've been a fan of Orbital for years.  When I found out they did a remix of the Doctor Who theme for the 40th anniversary, I was totally jazzed (it's featured on their album, The Altogether).  For the 50th anniversary, Paul Hartnoll of Orbital decided to share a remix of Doctor Who and the Sea Devils that he did for a Doctor Who album of mixes that was sadly never made.  Check it out here on SoundCloud!

Sea Devils Remix
(Personally, I hope they decide to release a cd of Doctor Who remixes-that would be AWESOME!)

Enjoy the 50th!  If you're doing something special, take pictures so I can share them on the blog!

Happy 50th, Doctor Who!
